2018 FIFA World Cup qualification – CAF second round
The second round of CAF matches for 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification was played from 11 to 17 November 2015.
Format
A total of 40 teams (teams ranked 1–27 in the CAF entrant list and 13 first round winners) played home-and-away over two legs. The 20 winners advanced to the third round.
Seeding
The draw for the second round was held as part of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Preliminary Draw on 25 July 2015, starting 18:00 MSK (UTC+3), at the Konstantinovsky Palace in Strelna, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The seeding was based on the FIFA World Rankings of July 2015 (shown in parentheses). The 27 direct qualifiers are seeded into three pots:
Pot 1 contained the teams ranked 1–13.
Pot 2 contained the teams ranked 14–20.
Pot 3 contained the teams ranked 21–27.
Each tie contained a team from Pot 1 and a first round winner (first 13 ties) which were automatically allocated into each tie (winner of first round tie 1 into second round tie 1, etc.), or a team from Pot 2 and a team from Pot 3 (last seven ties), with the team from Pot 1 or Pot 2 hosting the second leg. As the draw was held before the first round was played, the identities of the first round winners were not known at the time of the draw.
Note: Bolded teams qualified for the third round.
